Behind the scenes at SCEA Judges Day

For much of today, the people who will determine E3’s “Best in Show” awards are holed up in the penthouse of Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel. They’ll spend hours with some of PlayStation’s top upcoming titles – and you’ll be reading about their impressions starting later this afternoon.

Unlike Europe’s PlayStation Day, E3 Judges’ Day is a much more intimate affair. Therefore, we’ll do our best to pull back the curtain on the event. Throughout the day we’ll be posting Twitter updates and pointing you to coverage you’re sure to find compelling.

Attached are some pics I took this morning – if you’re a gamer and the sight of these future titles doesn’t get you drooling – kindly check your pulse.

I have one question…is Motorstorm PR going to be in 1080p….unlike motorstorm 1? I don’t have motorstorm partly because of this (and because of no split-screen), so i just hope that full hd goodness will be included! Thanks!

Hello Jeff! I’m glad to see you hear responding to so many comments, very cool of you.

I know you can’t reveal any specifics to us yet, but I was wondering if you know anything about what Naughty Dog might be working on right now? I imagine it’d be a sequel to … something. When do you figure we can learn more about their project? Hopefully E3!

Also of great importance to me is InFamous! I am a huge fan of all the games made by Sucker Punch, in particular the Sly Cooper series, so if you know anything at all about when we’ll be seeing more of their game, please, do tell!

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, EvoAnubis is back! I sent you all postcards from Liberty City; did you get them?

Anyway, looks like I missed a lot during my vacation. Siren: BC looks amazing (I got the demo from my JPN account) and I never got to play it on my PS2, so I am looking forward to this a lot.

I agree with Phoenix; Linger in Shadows, judging from what I’ve seen thus far, looks to be a very beautiful and interesting game. Can’t wait to hear more about it.

Jeff, any word on when we’re going to hear something about inFamous? Or more specifically, Sucker Punch? I’d love to hear that they’re wrapping up the inFamous project and starting on a new Sly Cooper game, and also I REALLY want to be playing inFamous.

For the record, I shot a video with two of the producers today. Seeing a trailer of the game really doesn\’t explain much. It\’s really frackin\’ cool and I hope the video we\’ll publish next week will make that clearer.

Jeff me good buddy, how she cuttin? Pretty good I hope. These shots are sweet. Please try to get a new Socom Confrontation screenshot or two. Need something to fill my 40inch till the real thing. Keep up the great work. Wish I was there to be a Judge. Oh yeah. More Canadian contests please.

“Today is all about the games mentioned (the full list is in that shot I threw up on flickr this morning).”

Ah, too bad. Well, it’s all good info anyway! Insomniac looks like they’re once again going to show why they are the best small developers in the business with Resistance 2, MotorStorm: PR is looking very, very nice (I just played the first one 3 weeks ago, and was blown away), and KZ2 . . . well, hell: just LOOK AT IT!

Not to mention my most anticipated game this fall, namely LBP. It scares me knowing the hours I will pour into that game.

Well, my Whiz Mobile phone is alerting me that I have a text message, so I think my presence is required in Star Junction. Be cool, all. And thanks for the reply, Jeff.

They really need to fix the camera on Siren: Blood Curse. It is terrible and will ruin the game. I don’t know who does the testing on these games but it seems they are too close to the project to see its serious flaws. IGN also commented on the terrible camera in their preview. I really hope this kind of feedback from the blog gets back to developers while games are in the development cycle.
